Is 50/50 shared care or equal shared parental responsibility (decision making) automatic in Australia? No - but it is highly likely if protective parents consent to it out of exhaustion.

This episode breaks down the biggest myth in post-separation parenting:
that courts routinely “order” equal parenting time. In reality, most 50/50 outcomes occur because parents become overwhelmed, under-supported and pressured to agree long before trial.

Danielle explains what factors do influence equal-time outcomes, why stamina matters more than conflict, and why capacity-building is essential if you want to hold the line without collapsing halfway.

What you’ll learn:

• The difference between ordered vs consented "50/50"
• Why most equal-time outcomes arise from exhaustion, not genuine merit
• Risk & safety conditions that make equal-time less appropriate
• Why protective parents need strategy, not survival
• How The Blueprint helps protective parents to build the capacity required to keep going
